A custom About dialog that is suitable for the Help | About
menu item in your applications.
Features:
- Logo support (300x300)
- Developer info support (see PersonWidget)
- Uses Metadata
- Optional URL
Add the module to your GO application
go get github.com/lordofscripts/gofynex
Add it into the GO source of your Fyne application
import "github.com/lordofscripts/gofynex/fynex"
Use the dialog:
var myWin fyne.Window var logoResource fyne.Resource // usually an embedded resource var metadata fyne.AppMetadata = myApp.Metadata() var text string text = "This is a nice application I created for the fun of it." metadata["url"] = "https://github.com/lordofscripts" about := NewAboutBox(myWin, logoResource, metadata). WithText(text, true, false). WithPerson("Juan de Los Palotes", "Soñador", embeddedDeveloperPic) about.ShowDialog()
Note, for applications built using go instead of fyne package
the application metadata will be incomplete. But Fyne has a lot of
quirkness and one of those is that you cannot set the metadata
directly. So, if you didn't use the fyne tool, get the application
metadata and fill in the missing parts (ID, Name, Version).
As you can see, you can also add custom metadata. In particular, the
About dialog looks for the url custom metadata. If it is present,
the About dialog will also display a URL Hyperlink widget under the
application name & version label.
